this guide is pretty good on how to do it, you just need to get a Torx 6 (T6) screwdriver (found on ebay) to take the screws out, the paperclip really isn't needed, but if you want to be precise, then go ahead. As much as they say it, DO NOT touch the screen. I wore latex gloves when I changed my faceplate so i wouldn't accidentally get any oil on the screen.

One thing about the totonox guide. When removing the antennacover with the paperclip. I do it the other way around, i wedge a nail inbetween the frontcover and antennacover on top of the phone.

Much easier and scratchproof.

As to the screen, i don't experience it as easy do damage at all, i just wipe it with a soft cloth if i get finger-grease on it.

i just today took of my cover for my t68i, i had real problems finding a torx six screwdriver but when i did it was well worth it, i took my fone to a shop and they ended up puting more dust in but when i got my own i did it well, i used an antistatic cloth to get the dust of and i have touched the screen and have no problems. i also used the guide on totonox and it worls a treat, good luck. P.s i forked out £8.50 for a set that included a torx 6 , i no i was ripped of but it has payed of!!
